Delayed again Memorial Hall, once the centre of cultural activities for the Blyth community, has been the centre of controversy for the past two years as attempts to renovate the building's 500 -seat theatre have met a long series of roadblocks. Last week council refused to award a contract for renovation because it was going to cost too much. MIL WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1974. 1Ilside EDITORIALS - PAGE 4 UPDATE • PAGE 5 CHURCH • PAGE CLASSIFIED • PAGE ' 14. Council won't award Hall contract - says price too high Tenders for the reconstruction of Blyth Memorial hall were opened at a special meeting of village council on June 27, but council refused to award the contract for the work. Lowest tender for the project was $47,750 more than twice the amount the project had been estimated at a year ago. In the past year the estimates of the cost have climbed steadily with the costs at the time of the engineer's report was received being about $30,000. As a result, council declined to award the contract for the work. Instead it sent a letter to all volunteer groups in the village explaining the council's decision, The letter points out that even with the available grants of $7,750 subtracted, the renovation will still cost $40,000. The lowest interest rate available for debentures these days is 101/2 per cent meaning hte annual payment of principal and interest would amount to $6,650 over 10 years, or a 9.25 mill increase to village taxpayers. The letter says that the village is in "desperate • need" of sewerage and drainage facilities and feels these must have priority. If Memorial Hall is to restored, the council's letter says, a concentrated effort must be made on the part of voluntary organizations to raise money for the project and individuals must be willing to donate money for the project. The letter asks the groups to review the matter with group members. The Hall was originally built in 1920 as a Memorial to the dead of the First World War in Blyth, Hullett, East Wawanosh and Morris. For many years it was the centre of cultural activites for the community with the 500 -seat auditorium providing - professional touring shows and amateur groups. Later the auditorium fell into disuse. The lower meeting rooms, however continued to be used for dances, card parties, bingos and banquets. Two years ago, spurred by the Blyth Board of Trade, joint action was taker. by the B. of T. and the Blyth Recreation Committee to clean and paint, the auditorium. Donations were made by many Blyth and area residents and by quite a number of people from out of town toward the cost of paint and a large group of County council to study restructuring itself BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER After last week's Huron County Council meeting - the final one until September • it was apparent that while members are interested in county restructuring, they are not anxious to pay up to $100,000 in consultants' fees to have the job done for them. Actually the Executive Committee chaired by Douglas A. McNeil, reeve of Colborne Township, brought in a recom- mendation that no study on restructuring be carried out. The intent of this motion was a subject for argument until Clerk -treasurer John Berry said it was his understanding the committee was opposed to paying a consultant to do the study as was recommended last month by a representative from the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovern- mental Affairs, Reeve Roy Pattison, county warden last year, told council the decision for the recommendation of the executive commit- tee was "not unanimous". "If nothing is done we'll be told by the province how restructuring should be done and how it will be carried out," argued Pattison. Deb SheWfelt, reeve of Goderich and a staunch supporter for a study into restructuring, told council he was "a little disappointed" at the recommendation of the committee. He advocated a study at the local level and reminded council that its members have already been approached concerning county police, county fire protection, and county recreation. "We've got• our heads in the sand, gentlemen, if we don't at least look at it," said Shewfelt. "We should at least have a Committee to study it. The result will be what we want, not what some consultant' says we should have." Jim Mair, deputy -reeve of Morris, said that at a recent workshop in Huron on the subject of restructuring, he'd been advised by one elected official that it was best to do the study locally, despite what was recommended by government. Mair further suggested that the matter should be brought to a vote of the people.. "The whole program should be brought out and put before the people," said Mair. Jack Riddell, Huron MPP who was one of many invited guests in attendance, was asked tc, give his opinion since the Ontario government had just approved restructur- ing for Oxford County. Riddell agreed with Mair that it was a "good idea" to let the people decide. Jack McCutcheon, reeve of Brussels, felt a local study should be delayed until "we see what happens in Oxford" as far as the tax picture is concerned. McCutcheon reminded council that wheneverrestruct- uring is completed, costs seem to increase. Reeve Ed Oddleifson, Bayfield, warned council that if something isn't done toward restructuring immediately, Huron will be told what to do. "We do not want to lose our autonomy, said Oddleifson, "We should not sit back on our haunches and let them do it for us." While there was discussion around citizen involvement on the committee, the motion approved by council was for a.study to be done at the county level composed of members from county council appointed by the executive committee. Councillors did feel, however, that citizen opinion would be sought although only elected officials would have a vote on the matter. One of the final statements in the discussion was made by Warden Bill Elston: "1 do not want to do away with my municipality," said Warden Elston. "1 believe the local council is the closest and the best." Several heads nodded in agreement. Earlier in the day, the executive committee had brought in a recommenda- Continued on pg. 5. volunteers worked through the summer evenings redecorating the hall. The Hall was open for one public performance, a variety show sponsored by the Board of Trade as part of the 1972 Blyth Fall Fir, then ws closed because of protests from fire officials about insufficient fire escapes. The fire escape problem dragged on until the spring of 1973 when council agreed to provide money for the installation of the escapes. But by this time doubts had been raised about the safety of electrical wiring in the building. An inspector was beought in who said only minor changes were needed. With installation of the fire escapes started but not completed and electrical repairs under discussion, the council discontinued any other work until an engineer could inspect the safety of the roof which one councillor observed had sagged in the 50 years since the building had been built. The engineer was asked to inspect the building in the spring but it was September before his report was read in council and did indeed confirm that the roof was structually inadiquate. Becuase of the slowness of the engineer and the cost involved council declined to the engineer prepare plans anSi specifica- tions for the alterations required. Because members of council felt they had plenty of time to complete the plans, no immediate action was taken. One member of council was asked to get in touch with a company manufacturing trusses and ask it to design a truss for the new roof which would be required. A member of council agreed to undertake outlining specifications for the new r000f to be built over the trusses. After some months, the truss design and cost estimate was received, but the councillor involved in costing the new roof found himself unable to find time for the project so it was turned over to another engineering firm in March. Tenders were finally called last month and opened June 27. There had been some doubt that any tender would be entered at the late date of tendering, but two were. Council's decision not to award the contract means there is little likelihood the project will be completed before next year at the earliest. Money pledged for Hall renovation In reaction to Blyth Village Council's call for financial aid for repairs of Memorial Hall Keith Roulston, publisher of The Standard announced plans to help this week. In a letter sent to Larry Walsh, village clerk -treasurer Mr. Roulston pledged $180 toward the renovation of the Hall on behalf of the newspaper. The money is to be donated on completion of the project. The letter also announced plans for the • setting up of a non-profit organization to be known as the Village Squire Fund for the Arts, named after Village Squire, a magazine published by The Standard. The fund plans to sponsor events in the Hall and elsewhere from which the proceeds will be turned over to artistic endevours. Mr. Roulston said the new Fund would pledge $1000 per year toward debenture payments of the Hall beginning one year after completion of the repairs. Mr. Roulston said he believed Memorial Hall was too important to the people of the, Blyth - community and indeed to all of Huron County to let it deteriorate further, PG.2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 3, 1974. Council sends letter to community voluntary groups The following is a copy of the letter sent by Blyth Village Council to local voluntary groups. Dear Sir: At a . special meeting of the Blyth Village Council on June 27, 1974, members of council opened tenders and read engineer's reports on the cost of proposed renovations to Blyth Memorial Hall. The result of the meeting was that no contract was awarded. The reason for not awarding a contract was that the bids subntitted were too high and it was felt that the cost of financing such an undertaking would be too much of a tax burden on the residents and business of our •.ommunity. For example we would like to point out that the cost of renovations would be: $47,750,00 less available grants 7,750.00 40,000,00 To finance this $40,000.00 would mean a debenture issue and the lowest rate available today is 101/2 per cent. At 10'/ per cent this would mean an annual payment of principal an interest of $6,650.00 for 10 years. This would result in an increase of 9.25 mills to the taxpayers of our village. The village at present is in desperate need of sewage and drain facilities and the feeling is that these must receive priority. If the Blyth Memorial Hall is to be restored, a concentrated effort .on the part of voluntary organiza- tions to raise money is a must and Did you just say "Boy am I tired"?

The first call, about 7:30 was to the farm of Gordon Carter, RR 3, Blyth where a tractor fire was quickly extinguished. About 11:45 the firemen were on the trucks again, this time for a more serious fire in Carlow at the General Store where they helped the Goderich and Lucknow departments battle the stubborn fire in the store until 2 a.m. Damage to the rear portion of the building was serious and there was a good deal of smoke and heat damage to the rest of the building. And the firemen missed a good deal of sleep. ***** It's great to be in business for yourself, whether farmer or storekeeper of factory owner. If you go broke, people laugh at you.

Ontario GUARANTEED ANNUAL INCOME SYSTEM William Davis, Premier Rene Brunelle, Minister of Community and Social Services Arthur Meen, Minister of Revenue Frank Miller, Minister of Health 74•H22a Behind the scenes What this BY KEITH ROULSTON • Canada passed its 107th birthday this week in the midst of an election campaign and a disillusionment with the system that has gone beyond the state of healthy criticism. When Canadian voters go to the polls on Monday it seems few will be enthusias- tically giving their vote to any of the three major political parties. For most, it appear it will be a case of choosing between the least unpleasant alternative. Some voters will be able to get away from the decision of wich of the parties should govern by voting for the local candidate they think is best. Even this may not solve the problem for some people. For instance, after the recent all -parties meeting in Clinton many voters may have felt Shirley Weary was the best of the local candidates (she certainly was the most impressive at the meeting) yet are unable to commit themselves to her party the New Democrats, Indeed, many Canadians in this election may wish they could split their ballot as American voters can: vote for one party locally but vote for a different man for leader of the nation, Many more just no vote at all, Studer employment up country needs is some this year The number of students who have found work this year through the Student Manpower Centre in Goderich and Huron Park has inccreased by 60 per cent over 1973. Much of this increase can be attributed directly to the Hire a Student Week, conducted for the first time this year by the students office. The response from the employers in the arca was very good. As aresult, there were as many students placed in Jne as there had been up to the end of May, So far, around 800 students have registered for work, with nearly 70 per cent have found a job for the summer. Of those till seeking employment, 80 per cent are 15 to 17 years old, Mr. Walden is asking that anyone who wants someone to babysit, cut grass, paint, or do odd jobs, to please contact him, Any older students who are still looking for work should notify their local student placement office in Goderich or Huron Park, If the response from the employers in July is as good as it was in June, Mr. Walden feels nearly all the students should get employment for the summer.

One minute you say to yourself, well at least the Tories want to try something different, and then you remember that the price and wage controls that failed elsewhere could just really moss things up there, Besides that there is the fact that there are many things that should be issues that aren't, Like the fact that there are no. alternatives left to the voters,..that each of the parties seems to be trying to outdo the other in dropping socialist goodies, in forever knocking big companies for supposedly making huge profits and in playing up to the big union vote, In short, the ony alternatives in the election are between real socialists and closet socialists. But the thing that saddens this observer most is the abandonment of preciples in favour of political expedience, Like many, I was a Trudeau supporter in 1968, He was a breath of fresh air, a man who seemed in ELECT , THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 3, 1974. PG,3, non-political politicians politics not to be a politician, but to get a job done, He won and carried that sort of attitued into governing, doing what he thought was right, and hang the consequences, In the 1972 election, he didn't do the things ordinary politicians do, he tried to get to meet people and carry on a "dialogue", He was crucified in the press for not being an ordinary politician and at the polls he almost got beat. And the Liberal party brass said "see, you have to act like a politician"...and he is, and may win because of it. Now, of course, the press is trying to crucify him because he doesn't try to meet with the people and butter up the press. Bob Stanfield has also given up a good deal of his original stolid intergrity to please the party molders who were convinced he couldn't win being just plain Bob Stanfield. The press doesn't make as much about those changes but anyone with a good memory can remember them. And David Lews, well I've never been that sure he had any strong principles from ' the beginning. About the only man around who says what he thinks needs to be said thee- ' is Eugene Whelan, and he just may get beaten in his own riding because of it. Even if he doesn't, the pressure from his own party will likely either cause him to tone down or to get out of politics in the next few years. What I'd like to see is more independent candidates, people who don't have to stick to party lines all the time, who can be on the side of unions today if they feel it is right, on the side of big business tormorrow if they feel it's right, but always, on the side of the people, and what he things is best for them. He has no tough choice between loyalty to the party and loyalty to his own principals. Perhaps the saddest things about the election is that few will run as independents because they haven't a snowball's chance in hell of being elected without party affiliation. They won't be elected becuase, first of all because so many an independent if it was their own mother, in the second place because money wins elections, and only party affiliation brings that money.

Editorial Kudos for fire department Blyth Fire Department has established a reputation for being one of the best in this part of Ontario and that reputation was enhanced last week at County Council. The recommendation was put before the council that all county fire departments should be equipped with radio -equipped vehicles and have a central dispatch system. Blyth is one of the few departments in the county that already has radio -equipped trucks (the only other one at present is Wingham). The radio equipped trucks, the modern pumper and tanker and the many odds and ends of fire fighting equipment the department owns has made it a model for other departments, including those in much larger towns in Huron. Add to that the excellent training, skill and dedication of our volunteer fire-fighters and Blyth has something to be proud of...and thankful for in times of emergencies, Leave the decision on restructuring to the people Morris Township Deputy Reeve James Mair hit the nail right on the head last week when discussing the proposed restructuring of Huron County, Amid a great deal of confused discussion Mr. Mair suggested that any proposal for restructuring should be put before the people of the county for a vote. It's about the most sensible thing we've heard ever since restructuring first came up under its former name, regional government. County council decided at the meeting that a local committee would be set up to study restructuring rather than pay a big fee to a consulting firm. If the members are objective enough, this should be a good move. The council should draw up proposals for restructuring and then put them before the people of the county for their approval or disapproval. Many, including provincial government officials, would disapprove of such action of course. They believe that the people aren't smart enough to decide their own future. That is why the provincial government gave the people in areas like Niagara no chance to vote for or against regional government plans. They just dropped them in their laps and said: "There kiddies, we know best what's best for you." Perhaps at times people don't make the best decision (after all they keep electing Bill Davis and his Tories) but you either have to have faith in people or give up paying lip service to Democracy as a form of government. In Huron, it nowhere else, let's opt for Democracy and give the people a vote on their own future. BY BILL SMILEY Occasionally, something interesting or unusual conies along to brighten the daily routine, just when it seems to be getting dreary. A couple of these happened to me recently. First, the good Samaritans. The story really began one night last winter. I have an ancient and venerable wooden garage, which bears on both sides of the entrance the honorable scars left by my wife and daughter as they tried at various times to get the car into the garage or out of it. My wife is the only person of my acquaintance who can try to back a car out of a garage and get it wedged kitty-corner across the building. On several occasions I have almost had to have the garage demolished to get the car out. Anyway, on this night last winter my wife and a friend were trying to close the garage door, This door is as old as the garage, which will probably never see forty again. The door is not exactly electronically controlled. It is a massive ting, about six inches thick, of hardwood. It would cost about a thousand dollars to build today. The chap who installed it was quite ingenious. He installed a couple of rails, sonic pulleys, and two huge weights at the end of some heavy wire, While the door could not be raised a slid back with a couple of fingers, like those in a modern garage, a strong man, with a good heave, could get it up and sliding back along the rails. I am not a particularly strong man. In fact, I am a weak one, in more ways than one, as my wife could tell you. As a result, I usually left the garage door open. 1 couldn't see Rally round the garage, boys the point in all that heaving and hauling. This annoyed my wife, In the fall, leaves blew into the garage. In the winter, snow blew in. Neither bothered me, but you know what women arc like. Well, on the night in question, the two ladies decided to close the garage door, because the snow was blowing in. They gave a great heave, the wire came off the pulleys, and the door came off the rails. Fortunately, the car was not in the garage, or I'd have been looking for a new car. The door weighs about • six hundred pounds. It did not come crashing right down, but hung, suspended by the wire, at a forty-five degree angle in the garage. You couldn't have driven a kiddy car in there. I was going to organize a work party and get it back on the rails, but it was stormy, and then I got the 'flu and time went on and things cropped up, as they seem to. A couple of times, 1 went out and looked at the stupid thing, and once tried to get it back on the rails, which almost gave me a double hernia. Well, time went on and my wife nattered away about getting that door fixed and the neighbours dropped a few hints but 1 became sort of fond of that crazy ting hanging there, as one might get fond of a cross-eyed cat. One fine evening recently, I was sitting in the back yard, enjoying my preprandial aperitif', when an old truck pulled up and a sweaty, dirty young man came through the gate. Under the grime 1 identified Jamie Hunter, whom 1 taught last year. Grinning, he announced, "Mr. Smiley, I'm going to do something for Canadian litera- ture." I was baffled. He went on, "When are you going to get your garage dor fixed?" "Ott, that. Any day now Jamie, as soon as I can find someone to do it. Why? "Well, every time Mike and 1 drive by and see that door, it bothers us. We're going to fix it for you," "Great!", enthusiastically. "How much?", cautiously. "It's not going to cost you a nickel." I insisted 1 would pay the going rate, He refused. They were doing it for Canadian literature. Jamie said they were pretty busy, and asked when 1 wanted it d one. I said whenever they could get at it. I thought he meant in a couple or three weeks. I went in to dinner, delighted at this display of gratitude or whatever. After dinner, I hearda bit of a din out back, and there they were, four young men, getting that ridiculous door back on the tracks. 1 was almost overcome with someting or other. All,four were former students of mine: Mike Laurin, Mike Dragoman, John Sachs and Jamie Hunter. At least two of them had been working since eight o'clock that morning, and here they were, twelve hours later, slugging away at a brutal, awkward job for their old English teacher. 1 was touched. They absolutely refused any payment. 1 was just as astonished as 1 was moved. Here were four young guys who, instead of moaning around about no employment, or living on welfare, had formed a loose partnership, and were doing construction, painting, anything they could get. They were immediately offere the job of taking off my storm windows and painting my house,. And that's how you get ahead in the world, which does NOT owe you a living, young man. In addition to this lucky strike, I have Dan St. Amand, another student and the best cornet player in the whole area, cutting my lawn, so all in all, it looks like a good summer. People should donate...but .let's get on with the job The present Blyth council has been one of the most progressive councils this village has seen for many years. Through its actions in many fields the council has earned a reputation for seeing the need for something, and acting. The council has done small things to make life better such as fighting for a licensing bureau for the village and putting up street signs. I has shown foresight in acting quickly to set the wheels in motion to get sewers for Blyth. It has shown concern for the elderly by initiating action about senior citizens apartments for the village. Given this record of action, achievement and leadership, the lack of leadership this council has shown over the Memorial Hall renovation project over the past two years has been even harder to understand. If this had been a do-nothing reactionary council, one could understand the council's attempt to do as little as possible as slowly as possible. But it hasn't been that kind of council, except in the Memorial Hall issue. In that one case, the council has shown qualities exactly opposite to the farsighted, no-nonsense, quick -acting ones it has displayed in nearly every case. The council has now called the voluntary organizations to come to its rescue to help pay the renovation costs which have mounted hugely in the past year. In one way, they are right: the public should help pay some of the cost of renovations. But the council's action seems just as much one more attempt to shirk its, responsibility in the matter and put the heat on someone else. It is now two years since a group of volunteers began action to renovate the old hall. The group put in hundreds of hours cleaning and painting the old auditorium has been used on only two public occasions. With council's present action, it becomes almost certain that at least another year will go by before the Hall can be put back in use. The blame for this situation can fall on no one shoulders but the members of the council. Most of the members of council don't seem to give a damn whether the hall is repaired or not. Some would much rather see the building torn down. This lack of interest has led to the project dragging out at least one year (and from the most recent decision probably two years) longer than it should have. Council dragged out the repairing of the hall from last year to this and the cost coared, By the time ,voluntary organizations get a chance to organize a campaign to raise money it will likely be winter and another building season will be gone. How much will the cost go up by next year? In an attempt not to have to make a decision council has tried to put the heat instead on the shoulders of voluntary groups. But what if the voluntary organizations don't come to the rescue of council? What then? It would seem council then has three alternatives: 1. Let the building fall down, as both council and its engineers claim it will if action isn't taken. 2. Tear the building down, which will likely cost $10,000-$20,000 and will accomplish nothing. 3, Tear the bulding down an build a cheap cement block community centre for dances and card parties (which is exactly what at least one member of council wants), which probably won't end up being very cheap after all .... any bets it could be done for less than $100,000. Let's face it, there is no real alternative. The building has to be fixed whether council wants to or not. Certainly the cost is frightening and certainly it would be nice for the whole amount not to come out of taxes. But if council wants public participation in the project, it should have started long before now. Why weren't these letters sent out last fall to give the groups a chance to raise money over the winter? Why did'nt council take action now of a more concrete nature than just a quiet letter for help, action like setting up a special fund right away where people could donate money? More to the point, why didn't council get on with the work of repairing the Hall while at the same time working with the public to raise money? If council was honest with the public about the need for help it would get support and the project would be finished this year. Instead the council is trying to blackmail people, and in doing so is making sure the Hall won't be repaired this year. If the Hall isn't finished this year, the ability of some groups to raise money to help with the project will be limited. The Blyth Little Theatre, for instance, which could be expected to be one of the larger donars to the project, hasn't much chance of making money to donate unless it is able to perform in Memorial Hall. Blyth Board of Trade which led the battle to restore the building two years ago, donated $100 at that time to help build fire escapes .... the money came from a variety show put on at the Hall, That money is still in the B of T funds because the council still has not completed installation of the fire escapes. There are other funds still sitting in the bank from the original campaign two years ago that have not been used because of the delays in finishing the renovation, It's time our five waffling council members got off the fence and took concrete actiont bring an end to the delays. First they should set up a committee to co-ordinate activity to try to raise money. Secondly, they should get on with the job or renovation THIS YEAR so the Hall can be put back into action and before costs raise further. Update In-depth reports BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P. [HURON•BRUCEJ Queen's Park started its end -of -the -session ritual of 15 - hour -days this week in an endeavour to wind up the sitting for the summer. The buildup of Government Bills has been under way for two weeks, several carrying an element of urgency. The Province wants to send out, within a week, the cheques under its Guaranteed Annual income Programme for those 65 years of age and over, and it's increased Workmen's Compensa- tion Board pension, in the last 10 days there have been 28 Government Bills intro- duced. The province THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 3, 1974. PG.S. Legislature sits through 15 -hour days A total of 47 pieces of proposed legislation were introduced dur- ing March and April with about 70 during May and the first three weeks of Jun The motion to sit unlimited hours, plus the great rush of urgent legislation, in closing days of the session brought objections from the Opposition who branded it "a travesty of parliamentary democracy". The Province is considering decentralizing the administration of its new 50 per cent land speculation tax. The Revenue Minister Arthur Mcen said he was looking at such centres as Windsor, London, Hamilton and Ottawa to handle tax clearances. There have been complaints that it is taking up to six weeks to obtain clearance from the Mini- stry where no tax is payable on property transactions. Until now the Province has been accepting affidavits from people dealing with property values, but within two weeks it will be in a postion to use assessment data to run its own checks on values. The Provincial Government is imposing "a series of little Queen's Parks on Ontario munici- palities in the guise of restructur- ing local government", Liberal Leader Robert Nixon charged I during debate on second reading of a Government Bill restructur- ing the County of Oxford. He said that regionalization is making local government insensitive and remote to area residents. "We've got big Government in Ottawa, we've got big Govern- ment here with a budjet of over $8 billion in the Province of Ontario and 70,000 empioyees and now you are moving down into the municpal level", Mr. Nixon continued. Mr. Nixon said the costs of local government have risen sharply in,all parts of the Province where retructuring has taken place. In Ottawa Carleton, expendi- tures went up 81 per cent in the first four years after regionaliza- tion. The rise in Niagara region was 61 per cent in three years. In Muskoka spending had gone up 76 per cent in one year. O.P.P. Report During the week June 24 to June 30, the following investiga- tions were carried out by officers at Wingham Detachment of the O.P.P. On Tuesday, June 25, Ralph C. Pearson of Brussels and Kenneth D. Scott of R.R. 1, Blyth were involved ina two car collision on Turnberry St. at Flora Street in the Village of Brussels. Edna C. Pearson, a passenger in the The nation No apathy found around 'Ma' Murray BY MARJORIE NICHOLS LiLLOOET, B.C. - The old carcass, as she calls it, has been acting up a bit lately, but Margaret Lally "Ma" Murray is not about to hang up her typewriter. Certainly not with an election campaign under way. Ma Murray, who will celebrate her 87th birthday next month, is apalled at the voter apathy. But if there is a lack of campaign interest in this part of the country, you can't blame Ma, She is campaigning in her usual style, with a vengeance. For the 50 -odd years that Ma Murray has been pounding a typewriter she has never been equivocal about anything, least of all politics. She considers it the most entertaining, non -contact sport and can't understand the lack of appreciation of this fact on the part of the general public. • The old offices of the Bridge River-Lill- ooet News, where she still lives alone in an upstairs apartment, are festooned with campaign posters, Liberal posters. Ma Murray is an unreconstructed capital L Liberal, and not incidentally, an enthusias- tic if acerbic fan of Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Ma's husband George was the Liberal member for the Cariboo from 1949 until 1953. But the crusty editor, who is regarded as something akin to a national monument in downtown Lillooet, was not always a Trudeau fan. When the party gathered in the steamy confines of Ottawa's Civic Centre in 1968 to pick Lester Pearson's successor, Ma County council Continued from pg. 1 1 tion to ask the Solicitor General for a feasibility study concerning the possibility of establishing a County Police Force for Huron County, with the understanding that the study would be "at no cost to the County". The recommendation was approved. It was made following a presentation at the May session by the five police commissions in Huron who requested council to approach the provincial government on this matter. Earlier in the day as well, Sid Oxenham, assistant chief, Fire Services Secion, office of the Fire Marshall, addressed council on the importance of a central dispatch system for fire brigades in Huron. Although council felt that a co-ordination of radio equipment for fire brigades throughout Huron was of paramount importance (at present only fire departments in Wingham and Blyth are radio equipped with the Exeter department soon to be added), It was generally agreed by council that a central dispatch system was the "coming thing" and "something to work towards The recommendation of the development committee was approved however. That recommendation was that a representative of each fire area board together with the County Fire' Co-ordinator and the Development officer of the County, Spence Cummings, form a committee to study a Murray was not amongst the mini -skirted Trudeau throngs. She was a Paul Martin person. It may seem a paradox, but Ma Murray blames the press for first the rise and then the fall of Pierre Trudeau. The way she has it figured, Trudeau has now achieved his mortal level. Let her tell it: "Six years ago here was the Toronto Telegram and all the rest with their headlines screaming that Trudeau was the man. The press lifted him up and he was in a pretty high tower. "They - the pr;,ss • made a fool out of him. He's a shy guy. When he's in a crowd he'll have sweaty hands ... the press put im in the tower and they they dropped him." Ma things that the 1974 Trudeau is the real Trudeau and she thinks it was the six years that made the difference. "Here's a convert you know," she says. The visitor has to ask the obvious question: "A convert to politics," replies Man, "A convert to politics. He was an ivory tower deal and now he understands politics." Despite her lifelong Liberal inclinations, Ma Murray would never pretend to endorse all of the happenings in Ottawa during the Trudeau years. He is a vehement critic of the unemployment insurance scheme and what she calls the "Welfare thing," But she has faith. "Put him in and he'll clear up this UIC," she says. "Trudeau won't leave it to those lame ducks like Bryce Mackasey, any more. He's been chastized and he's going to clean it up. Ma Murray explains that she has • nothing whatever against Robert Stanfield, "Just as fine a man as God ever put breath into," she says, but she thinks that he should have retired to Nova Scotia. Furthermore, she does not subscribe to wage and price controls. UIC and welfare ripoffs aside, she believes that Trudeau managed to "put purchasing power in the hands of the people" and she believes a Conservative government would destry that. A book probably could be written describing what Ma Murray is, but is a simple matter to describe what she is not, She is not a socialist. "Socialism is for the birds," she says. Now, Ma had her picture in all of the papers during the ast provincial campaign endorsing the local NDP candidate. But she explained that was the only way to get rid of W. A. C. Bennett. Viable alternatives and all of that. Who knows what influence Ma had, but the tactic worked. There is now a socialist government in Victoria and she deserves part of the credit, Dave Barrett dropped up to see her the other day. She is over-whelmed that he would make the gesture but that doesn't change her political mind. "A nice kid," she says, "but a stupid ass." When the visitor intrudes it is 9:30 a.m. Ma's typewriter is burning out an editorial for the local paper, which she sold a couple of years ago to a well screened outsider. This day she is taking apart some of the "pompous asses" in Victoria. The first distraction is compounded. The Pearson vehicle was injured as a result of the incident. Damages were estimated at $700.00. Charges are pending. On Sunday, June 30, Murray R. Black was involved in a single car accident on Highway 4, south of Huron Road 16, Morris Town- ship. Injured as a result was Dereck Horup of Toronto. phone rings. Ma grabs it and yelps a hello with her distinctive raspy voice. The caller, it seems, is the local Liberal organizer. The visitor can only hear Ma's side of the conversation. "Yeah, it's pretty hard to get anything going in this town ... made up their minds? A lot of them haven't got any minds to make up. "I'll kick in another $25. I ain't got much but 1'l! dig it up. I'm making any money but 1'11 dig it up. "Where's some of them dammed loafers who's got the gravy? "I know they'll put it on my tombston when I'm gone, 'she didn't have much to give to she gave what she had', ... God Almighty $500 would carry us through. "Those damned reports, they just make fool out of you ..." Ma explains to the caller that he has just recorded some voice reports endorsing the local Liberal candidate and that the young man on the other end obviously was not sympatico. Midway through the telephone conversa- tion Ma Murray stops to explain that she has a visitor in her office. "Well," she says, addressing the telephone receiver, "she's got a good space between her eyes and a nice big mouth." It is a compliment. Who would want narrow eyes and pinchy mouth? ' The thing you must understand about Margaret Murray is that she calls them like she sees them and there ain't nobody about to change that, prime ministers included. The Montreal Star to study restructuring with committee central dispatch system with a compatible fire network and report back to county council. County recreation was brought to the attention of councy council through a presentation by Don Reid, a consultant from the Sports and Recreation Bureau of the Ministry of Community and Social Services. He asked that Huron County Council establish a committee to look at the implications and structure of recreation in the county. Reid reviewed the seven "clusters" which were established in Grey, Bruce and Huron Counties following a meeting last September at Pike Lake. He said the main idea behind the clusters was to share problems and information so that recreational planning could be carried out in a larger region than ever before possible. He told county council that not all people in Huron County have equal opportunities for recreational programs and added that decisions about recreation are; presently being made by only "certain sectors of the county". Reid presented a report which showed that provincial grants in Huron County for recreation presently amount to $101,463.45 He said not all municipalities are presently applying for these probably because they don't know what is available in the way of grants, don't know how to apply or don't have a rec board which is necessary before some grants can be sought. Members of county council representing towns and villages with arenas and recreational facilities welcomed the sug- gestion that some plan night be devised whereby the costs of recreation could be shared. In other business, the planning board received approval for amendment five to the Official Plan to permit the development of Maypark Development in Ashfield Township just south of Port Albert. The County's Director of Planning, Gary Davidson, told county council the development had been controversial in Ashfield from the standpoint that it closed off access to the public of the beach. However, according to the plans presented to council, this problem no longer exists. The plans are for cottage development only and while year round residents, especially those with school children, would pose a problem for Ashfield people and the county as well, it is felt seasonal residences would pose no hardships for the municipality, Amendment six of the Official Plan was also approved which makes it possible for Radoma, owners developers of Vanastra, to convert the former Officers' Quarters into apartments, plans call for 24 apartments per building with four two-bedroom apartments and four one - bedroom apartments per floor. Ample parking will be available on the premises, county planner Nick Hill told council. Reeve Elgin Thompson, Tuckersmith, said his council was anxious that only two of the four buildings slated for renovations, would be converted at one time so as not to "flood the market" with apartment accommodation all at once, Considerable discussion was held during the day on the planning board's proposed regulations regarding building lot sizes. That subject is presently under study by the planning board in conjunction with the land division committee and the Board of Health. The proposed regulations would effect only lots in rural areas and hamlets and villages without proper sewage and water facilities, and area designed to take into consideration several different types of situations common to development in these areas. Planning Director Davidson noted that at present, lot sizes are occasionally required to be larger than necessary due to lack of proper guidelines. He said the proposed legislation would serve to guide lot size for the purpose of severance and the ussuance of municipal building permits. PG.6. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 3, 1974. Bureau editor: MRS.

When we came to you in 1969 our first request was the hope that we might be one happy family in God. We are sure that you will agree that this has been accomplished. You have been very loyal in attendance at the Sabbath service; you have always been willing to co-operate in the well-being of the Church. You have provided us with a lovely home. it has been a joy to serve you. "We have appreciated the response of our young people both in the choir and in their willingness to become involved. The Official Board and the Session, the U.C.W., the Exilor- ors, the Sunday Schools, and the Junior Congregation, have all been a great inspiration. No minister and wife could ask for more, As a family we have had many changes; we have shared our joys and sorrows. We have rejoiced when little ones were born in our midst, and when our young people were married; also, when we received new members into the family. We ,shared our sympathy when dear ones were called into higher service. "Now the time has come for us to retire from active service, we thank you all for your love and understanding during these five years, also, we thank all the good people of the entire community. May God bless you all, and as we have been one family in the Church, may we all be a part of the Great Church victorious in Heaven, when that time conies". me/ Following the church service a reception and social hour was enjoyed in the Sunday school room.
